Emergency Water on Skyline

Postby russmcb » Sun Apr 08, 2012 3:10 pm

+1 karma point for me. ;-) I hauled a gallon jug up to the emergency water station between Rescue#2 and Lunch Rock on Saturday. Of course, it's unlikely any of you folks reading this will need it but I'm hoping it helps at least one poor soul this season.

I meant to grab some of the empty bottles but forgot. If anyone wants to grab some of the empties from that station that might be useful. I'll try to haul another one up there next week and cart off some empties.

Cheers,
Russ

P.S. I'm always game for partners for sessions up Skyline when I'm in town. 510 two nine five 8655

Other needs?

Is the emergency water cache what you cool cats are referring to as "Florian's cache"?

Anything else I could bring up to help? I've never opened one of the Rescue boxes? What would I bring for one of them, a 1.5L bottle?

Water

Dear Russ,

It is agreed that your carrying up of thy holy water is a spiritual event of uncertain magnitude. I will personally see to it that on my next skyline attempt I shall use not only the holy water as thou should see fit, and redeem myself in your eyes, but will also need to solo Coffman's Cragg. Please wish me luck, as in Donald.

Perhaps I'm missing the point here, but why mock a guy who's just trying to do something nice?

WB, not to worry (although I appreciate the gesture and might be insulted if I didn't know him). But that's just my buddy, Carl, having some fun with me.

Carl, I shall let you bless yourself with my Holy Water, but only after solo'ing Coffman's crag and running barefoot up to lunch rock. ;-) Video evidence is required, of course.

More seriously: who manages the Rescue boxes? Do they need water??

anytime you wanna put water in them, help yourself, they are there for everyone to fill....theyve been getting abused..they always do when the weather warms up. people just don't know themselves well enough.

what really amazes me is how they can be filled one day and empty the next..and I don't think they get emptied by people in dire straights...

Ah, got it, thanks. My apologies, Carl.
